Halloween may be over but don't put those costumes away just yet; Anime Boston is back for a weekend of cosplay fun at the Museum of Science. Why not don a kilt for a traditional Scottish fest at the Scottish Ceilildh or decorate sugar skulls at this Dia de los Muertos Family Celebration? If you're feeling charitable, be sure to check out Create the Change Day and make a difference with Project Giving Kids.

There's a lot to enjoy on the stage, too, from Willy Wonka to Cinderella to dragon puppets. Have fun out there!
